Pattern: Hybrid! See notes, below. Yarn: Trekking Pro Natura, (approx 340m / 370yds) Method: Hand knitting Completed: April 26 2010. |
These are my standard socks — toe up, following Wendy’s Toe-Up pattern, and Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed Arch expansion/plain heel. This is a second pair following the ankle design for which I was inspired by the “Whirlpool socks” from Laura Nelkin (in “Knitting Socks With Handpainted Yarn”). I liked the principle of the swirl, to help break up some of the striping from the variegated yarn, without having the colour variations arguing with (or obscuring) the stitch pattern.

Whole socks — note the arch expansion. |

Detail on the ankle — at rest, this looks more like ridges than trenches |
